So ever since the first Alpha, I’ve been posting videos of Stonehearth on YouTube. However, I haven’t posted them here because that seemed a bit too close to self-advertising, and I wasn’t doing anything particularly innovative or creative–just testing the new features as they became available.
Now that Alpha 10 is out though, I had an idea. Remember this piece of concept art from awhile ago? It’s used as the splash screen thingy for the streams.

Well, I thought that since most of the features we can see in this image are implemented, I’d try to recreate it in-game. Here’s the montage and results:
I know that there are many, more skilled players who could do this scene more justice, I just thought it was cool that we’ve come so far–this used to be just ideas of what the game might look like, now they’re actual features!
EDIT: Never a new idea under the sun! jonzoid attempted this several months ago, check out his thread! Building from the concept art
